WC games before! also gonna be watching the wimbledon men's singles final (Federer vs Nadal) in 2 hours time. so i'm all set to stay awake. Good thing, no morning lectures tomorrow :biggrin p/s: - go zidane! viva le france! - go federer! Fed-ex always delivers! |

Ow, here should be 1.00 am when the WC final lives. Not a good time for me tho. I just remember the previous World Cup in Japan and Korea when I could watched them not late night.
:) Whoever win (Italy or France) I don't really care since my fav team was already beaten....But the final match would be great to watch. Italy must avenge their lost in Euro 2000 against France in a dramatic match. |

What a game! What a game! High tense! Hehe Italy won. Never expect them to win this cup, but yea, they did it. Shame for Zidane to did the heading not on the right thing.... Italy vs France 1 - 1 a.e.t 5-3 PSO Goals: 10. ZIDANE Zinedine (7' PEN) 23. MATERAZZI Marco (19') Summary: Italy are world champions for the fourth time after beating ten-man France 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Berlin's Olympiastadion on Sunday, 9 July 2006. Twelve years after losing to Brazil in the first shoot-out in a FIFA World Cup™ Final, Italy made up for that heartbreak as all five men in blue converted their kicks to claim world football's greatest prize for the first time since 1982. For France the pain of defeat was compounded by the sight of Zinedine Zidane, on his last appearance as a professional, leaving the field having been sent off in extra time for butting Marco Materazzi off the ball. It was Italy's first successful shoot-out in a FIFA World Cup after previous failures in 1990, 1994 and 1998 and ironically it was a miss from France’s David Trezeguet – whose golden goal had defeated the Azzurri in the final of UEFA EURO 2000 – that opened the door for Fabio Grosso to fire the winning spot-kick past Fabien Barthez and spark celebrations all the way from Bergamo to Bari. If penalties can resemble a lottery, there could have been no more deserving matchwinner than Grosso, such a positive influence for Italy throughout this tournament. He was one of several Italians prominent in a first period where the Italians played the more fluent football, although it was France who took an early lead. Eight years after scoring twice in the FIFA World Cup Final in Paris, Zidane opened the scoring with a seventh-minute penalty after Materazzi’s trip on Florent Malouda. By the 19th minute, however, Materazzi had made amends, the big defender heading the equaliser from Andrea Pirlo’s corner. Although both sides threatened to score a second – notably Italy’s Luca Toni, who headed against Fabien Barthez’s crossbar before the break - neither managed to add a second. Extra time brought a scare for Italy when Buffon had to tip over Zidane's header but soon afterwards the France captain was making the sad walk to the dressing rooms. Budweiser Man of the Match: PIRLO Andrea Klose takes the adidas Golden Shoe THE ROAD TO GOLD: After 64 games packed with goals and non-stop action, Germany’s Miroslav Klose has carried off the adidas Golden Shoe award as the top scorer at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™. The striker notched five goals in seven matches to take his total FIFA World Cup tally to ten. Finishing in second and third place respectively were Argentina’s Hernan Crespo and Brazil’s Ronaldo, providing both with some consolation for exiting the tournament at the quarter-final stage. Although the two were tied on three goals and one assist each, it was Crespo who took the silver having spent just 305 minutes on the pitch compared with 409 for o Fenômeno. Klose’s five-goal tally is the lowest winning total since the 1962 FIFA World Cup Chile™, not that it makes his achievement any less worthy. With two goals against Costa Rica, a further brace against Ecuador and a fine header in the quarter-final with Argentina, Klose moved into third place in the list of top German goalscorers at the FIFA World Cup finals. Ronaldo, who beat Klose to the coveted award at Korea/Japan 2002, will take away another unforgettable memory from Germany 2006. His three goals took him past German striking legend Gerd Muller to move to the top of the all-time FIFA World Cup scoring charts with 15 goals. The adidas Golden Shoe is awarded to the top scorer at the FIFA World Cup. In case of a tie, the positions are decided by the number of assists made by each player during the tournament. If two players are still tied, the one who has disputed the least number of minutes will be declared the winner. The FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG) decides which assists should count as such. Buffon collects the Lev Yashin Award Italy shotstopper Gianluigi Buffon has won the coveted Lev Yashin Award, given to the best goalkeeper at the FIFA World Cup™ finals. The Juventus star is a worthy successor to Belgium’s legendary Michel Preud’Homme, flamboyant French keeper Fabien Barthez and Germany’s Oliver Kahn, winners in 1994, 1998 and 2002 respectively. Buffon has been singled out as a potential all-time great ever since making his Serie A debut at tender age of 17 years and nine months. The 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ will go down in history as the tournament the classy custodian cemented his place alongside the best goalkeepers ever to play the game. It is difficult to find any chinks in Buffon's armour: the Italian star seems to possess the full range of qualities needed to be a complete No.1. Roberto Beccantini, a journalist at Italian daily newspaper La Stampa was brave enough to compare Buffon with legendary Azzurri keeper Dino Zoff, a hero of Italy’s 1982 FIFA World Cup-winning campaign. Beccantini believes Buffon possesses more of the characteristics shared by the classic Mediterranean stoppers while Zoff was perhaps more English in his style. The former Parma keeper wasted no time in making his mark at Germany 2006. Buffon’s acrobatics in his side’s opening game against Ghana were ample proof of his full recovery from the potentially career-threatening shoulder injury suffered at the beginning of the 2005/06 season. Despite having to endure a number of other knocks and niggles throughout the campaign, Buffon timed his return to full fitness perfectly, hitting top form to help the Vecchia Signora clinch the league title and the Azzurri lift the FIFA World Cup. Gigi’s toughest test would come in the group game against Czech Republic, going head-to-head with Juventus club-mate Pavel Nedved. After an intriguing duel, it was the keeper who came out on top, keeping a clean sheet in Italy’s 2-0 win. Prior to Sunday’s Final in Berlin, Buffon’s goal had been breached just the once, right-back Cristian Zaccardo putting through his own net against the USA. That one mishap aside, the Italian backline provided an effective screen throughout the tournament. Fabio Cannavaro and Co. were able to do their job safe in the knowledge that their world-class keeper would deal comfortably with any shots that did get through. In one of the highlights of Italy’s campaign, Buffon ran the length of field to celebrate with his team-mates after Marco Materazzi’s opener against Czech Republic. With the benefit of hindsight, this was the first sign that an indomitable team spirit was being forged among the members of Marcello Lippi's squad. In the Final itself, Buffon overcame the blow of conceding an early Zinedine Zidane penalty to put in an exemplary display, typified in the second half when he tipped over a goalbound Zidane header. Not may would argue against the fact that Buffon is a worthy FIFA World Cup winner and a deserved recipient of the Lev Yashin Award. Recommend Source: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/ |

LoL Italy won..curse you France fan! :lol: Zidane was so Rofling ^^ (no offense)..I dunno if Materazzi is an expert at provoking..Still, the refree decision was a bit doubtful though since he didn't actually see it, and the assistant didn't look very sure either... In general, I think France played better..Hat off for Malouda ;)
Agree. I was surprised with Italy's kicker list. Nice choice by Lippi.. |

Got some news: Zidane wins vote for adidas Golden Ball France playmaker Zinedine Zidane won the adidas Golden Ball voted for by journalists at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™. Although his team ultimately failed in their bid to lift the Trophy, Les Bleus' No.10 won the vote for the best player to grace the world stage in Germany. Behind ‘Zizou’ came Italy’s defensive rock Fabio Cannavaro, with the Juventus defender’s Azzurri team-mate Andrea Pirlo completing the podium. After a less than impressive showing from France in the group phase, Zidane finally got into gear against Spain in the Round of 16, producing a virtually flawless performance to steer his side to a famous win and a place in the last eight. If there is such a thing as footballing perfection, the midfield maestro surely attained it in the quarter-final showdown with Brazil. His superb passes, magical feints and all-round inspiration took France into the last four, where a solid performance and a clinical penalty helped Les Bleus dispose of Portugal. In the Final against Italy, he opened the scoring with an audacious spot-kick. Despite his tireless prompting, however, Zidane was unable to pick up the second FIFA World Cup winner's medal of a glittering career and was sent from the field in extra time for butting Marco Materazzi in the chest. Cannavaro collects Silver Ball The honour of lifting the coveted FIFA World Cup Trophy fell instead to Cannavaro. The Italy captain was in inspired form throughout the tournament and was the cornerstone of a superbly drilled back-line that conceded only two goals. Fearsome in the tackle and quick to fill any gap, Cannavaro brought his experience and astuteness to bear as Italy marched to the title. Cannavaro also showed how to lead from the front. Never shy of bringing his team-mates into line with a sharp word or two, he fought sportingly for every ball and the statistics show that he was guilty of very few fouls. Pirlo bags Bronze Ball The ultra-dependable Pirlo was voted the third-best player of the tournament, having proved himself to be one the most complete midfield players in the world. Part-playmaker, part-holding midfielder – dual roles he performed to perfection – he enjoyed a superb FIFA World Cup and capped it all off by picking up the Budweiser Man of the Match Award for another consummate display in the Final. Prince Poldi crowned Gillette Best Young Player The FIFA Technical Study Group has made its decision, bestowing Germany's Lukas Podolski with the coveted Gillette Best Young Player award. Selected from a shortlist of six talented nominees, the striker becomes the first Gillette Best Young Player award winner in the history of the FIFA World Cup™. Germany enjoyed a thrilling FIFA World Cup journey on home soil, achieving a place in the semi-finals few felt confident of predicting before the tournament began. A joy to watch as they poured forward in attack, the hosts owed much of their success to the fearsome strike duo of Miroslav Klose and Podolski. Junior partner Podolski, at 21, was one of 40 candidates competing for the title of Gillette Best Young Player. "I'm very honoured," said Podolski as he received the prize. "Of course this is a big motivation for myself to keep on improving in my career and to play a even better World Cup in four years' time even though I had hoped to take a different trophy home." An integral part of Jurgen Klinsmann's starting line-up, 'Prince Poldi' already boasts a tally of 15 goals in 31 games for his country. An impressive haul for one so young, over the course of this FIFA World Cup Podolski has demonstrated time and time again that he thrives under pressure. "He not only scored three goals, he was a key element in Germany's attack," explained Holger Osieck, Head of the FIFA Technical Study Group. "He showed a great understanding with Miroslav Klose and the two players formed a very effective partnership. Together, they netted eight of the Mannschaft's 11 goals." Three strikes and boundless energy The Polish-born German put in perhaps his strongest performance against Sweden in the Round of 16, firing in a brace to cap a display of tireless front-running. Facing Argentina in the quarter-finals, the youngster once again gave everything. The Bayern Munich-bound forward demonstrated real character in what was an extremely tight encounter, not least when he coolly converted from the spot during the penalty shoot-out. Having scored against Ecuador in the first round, Podolski currently has three goals to his name and will be looking to bolster his account in the match for third place against Portugal on Saturday. His youth may have caused him to snap at a few chances along the way, but ‘Poldi’ undoubtedly possesses remarkable maturity for a 21-year-old. However, his greatest attributes have to be his boundless energy and hunger for success. "Another factor we considered was how much playing-time he saw," added Osieck. "He started all the games and was only substituted after scoring twice against Sweden and right at the end of the Poland match." Indeed, his statistics bear out his considerable contribution to the host nation's cause: in 563 minutes, Podolski struck three goals, took 21 shots and drew 15 fouls. "Our choices are based on hard facts and how a player performs at a given tournament, the World Cup in this case," concluded Osiek. "Podolski still has a lot to learn but he is clearly a player with a great future." Source: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/ |
